In a notable breakthrough, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Sunday the seizure of Yaba tablets valued at approximately Rs 9 crore during an operation in Karimganj district.

In a post on X, Sarma revealed that a joint team comprising Karimganj police and the BSF G Branch intercepted a vehicle carrying 30,000 Yaba tablets. Following this, two individuals involved in the peddling of these contraband tablets were apprehended.

The Chief Minister commended the concerted efforts of Assam Police and the BSF, emphasizing their resolute commitment to eliminating drug trafficking from the state.
